Matching Pairs Producers Consumers and DecomposersOnline version assignment by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Herbivores (primary consumers) 2 Oxygen 3 amount of rotten meat 4 Required for photosynthesis 5 photosynthesis 6 Glucose 7 Zooplankton 8 Consumer (heterotrophs) 9 Carnivore 10 Producers (autotrophs) 11 number of flies 12 Omnivores 13 Decomposers 14 Phytoplankton A sugar produced during photosynthesis by producers How are the number of flies effected by the amount of meat that is rotten in a garbage? Identify the dependent variable. Tiny photosynthetic organisms usually found in large bodies of water and are the most common producers in these waters Organisms that only consume producers. Organisms that eat only consumers. How are the number of flies effected by the amount of meat that is rotten in a garbage? Identify the independent variable. Tiny organisms usually found in large bodies of water that consume other small organisms. Organisms that get their energy by breaking down dead organisms and animal wastes AND make nutrients in the soil. Carbon Dioxide, water, and sunlight Organisms that eat both plants and animals A waste product produced by plants during photosynthesis A process used by plants to acquire their own energy. Organisms that get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis Organisms that cannot produce their own food and must eat to get energy
